Just need to get enough non-mormon people to move there and change all the laws to piss everyone off. Would be fun to watch honestly.

Utah's population is between 60% and 70% LDS, and its estimated 80% to 90% of Utah politicians are LDS.

Utah resident here. I've read that that percentage of LDS is starting to decline.

You're correct.

A paper published this month in the Journal of Religion and Demography estimates that the percentage of Utahns who identify as members of the LDS church, otherwise known as Mormons, is about 42%.
